Software Architecture: Foundations, Theory, And Practice

This is the first true book to cover the maturing and important area of software engineering and development. It approaches software architecture from a rigorous systems view while also including real-world perspectives. The chapters incorporate the very latest research results as well as some material that is completely new. Many of the key techniques discussed are supported by tools and technologies included on the book's cd-rom. Through this package, software engineers will be armed with concise, practical strategies for designing, implementing, and evolving successful systems using software architecture. · the big idea. · architectures in context: the reorientation of software engineering. · basic concepts. · designing architectures. · connectors. · modeling. · visualization. · analysis. · implementation. · deployment and mobility. · applied architectures and styles. · designing for non-functional properties. · security and trust. · architectural adaptation. · domain-specific software engineering. · standards. · people, roles, and terms.
